BIILDING ASSOCIATION.

The name of the Association has been
changed from the Savings and Building
Association, to the Building and Loan
Association. There haye already been
taken 236 shares of stock amounting to
S11,600, and a large number of applica-
tions for loans. The people Of Austin
will be quick to accept the advantages
offered by the Association. The one
great advantage it offers is, that party
can borrow money from it, when he
would not be able to borrow it any
where else. Every month he pays a
part of the principal, with his interest,
is a sharer in the profits, as a stock
holder. His monthly payments will
amount to about what he would pay for
rent, for the same building. 1t will pay
all rent payers to join the Association.

are obliged to overcome a certain dis
trust by some people who have un-
fortunately bought worthless compounds
mixed by persons ignorant of pharmacy
Messrs G. I. Hood & Co. are reliable
pharmacists of long experience, and they
make no claims for Hoods Saraparilia
which cannot be substantiated by the
strongest proof And we say to those
who lack confidence, read the unsolicited
testimonials in favor of Hoods Sarsapa-
rllla, and then prove It's merits by actual
personal test. We are confident you will
not be disappointed, but will find it a
medicine of peculiar curative value.

this rule is broken. We have found this
